Protestant youth into the hands OF this
Romish church. And is not this the COW
ert design of all such attacks? We are
satisfied there are many intelligent Oath
olics who regret these remarks OF their
Bishop, and we make no criticism OF the
laity, but our language applies only to
their ambitious and mistaken leaders.
The Bishop cited the
Liberality of European Governments
in these matters; but he should remem-
Der that is this country we have no State
Church to which we compel them to pay
tribute. Our public schools, to which all
contribute who pay tax, are open and
free to all alike, Catholics as well as
Professionals, poor as well as rich, all alike
may enjoy their benefits. Bot If good
Catholics choose not to be represented
and refuse to receive this blessing for
fear their children, will not get their eyes
open and be led into larger measure OF
the truth, it is their fault and not the
fauit Oh our government.

Reply to Bishop Gilmour.
Bishop Gilmour has stirred up more
than one OF the Akron pastors to reply.
We forward to The UNIvERsALIsT a re-
port of most excellent reply made last
Sunday evening, by Rev. E. K. Young,
d. D., the able pastor of the First Ri. E.
church of this city. We send it for pub
LEGATION because the question is one of
national Importance, and because much
that DR.. Young Gays makes interesting
reading for Universalists, owing to its
advanced and manly utterances.
Western Reserve Association.
We again call attention to the above
body, which is to assemble at Akron on
the first Saturday in September, and
holds over Sunday. We wish this notice
might come to the eyes and ears of all
the well-wishers of our cause throughout
the Association. May we not hope to
see an awakening among our people in
this Association, such as has not been
felt for many years? Brethren and sisters,
let us not live at this poor dying ratel II
Universalism is ever to put forth her
power vigorously for the good of human
ity, is not the time at hand? Let us come
together and take an inventory OF our
work for the past year, ana see whether
we are keeping pace with the growth of
our country. If we are, let us be encour-
aged; but if not let us make greater
Christian endeavor in the time to come.
The truth has no self propsgating power.
Men and women are the agencies to be
used in ite advancement. and Won and I
can not shift our duty to the shoulders
Of other people.
